Vermont Curiosities: Quirky Characters, Roadside Oddities & Other Offbeat Stuff [Lingua Inglese] - Brossura

Robert F.Wilson has worked as a promotion writer for Reader’s Digest; and as an editor for McGraw-Hill, Houghton Mifflin, Macmillan, Scholastic, and the sadly swallowed Silver Burdett. He has written twelve books.

Wilson makes the following offer: Bring a copy of this book to his home in Saxtons River and he will not only sign it, but provide milk and cookies. Finally, as a public service, Wilson has sworn to never again refer to himself in the third person, beginning . . . now.

Victoria Blewer left the chaos and the clutter of New York City in 1986 to devote herself full time to fine art photography in the hills of Vermont. She works entirely in black-and-white, and then hand-colors the images. Her work has been featured in full-length photo essays in the Boston Globe Sunday Magazine, Vermont Life, and Vermont Magazine.
